Welcome! I've been driving through MG multiple times a week recently, commuting between St. John's and White Bear Lake. I'm originally from Fairfax, down by New Ulm. I wasn't aware there was a GXP for sale in NU, 1tinindian.

I agree with above, pics are requisite.

No I bought it at a dealership in Buffalo MN. Not sure how to post pics or what host to use. What's easiest? Thanks for the welcome!

What dealer had a gxp? I live in buffalo. Usually pay attention to what's sitting on the lots. Must've missed this one.

Morries Buffalo Ford/Mercury. They have a thing called pubic before wholesale that I first saw it on, then it was on Craigslist and CarSoup too.

The GXP in New Ulm was at Maday, (Jeep/Chrysler?)
They have had it for over a year and they are asking $8400 with 109000 miles.
Dents and scrathes down both quarter panels, fuel gauge inop, sunroof rattled like hell, smelled like burnt oil after the test drive. over all, just not very well taken care of.

The one I ended up buying from Arkansas was a little more money, but was twice as nice.

I'm sure the New Ulm car could be made to be alright, but I wasn't in the market for a rolling restoration project. I've done enough of those in the past.

Did the photobucket thing, went to the test section on here, just showed blue boxes with a ? Mark in them. But this link works for my album. Must be my phone. The camaros my free 2 week rental from the GP getting wrecked. Figured I'd put the miles on that instead. Hope my thread isn't worthless now lol. http://m1309.photobucket.com/albums/1SEXYGXP/
